Around 20 families today grabbed another patch of land in the city neighbourhood of Villa Lugano, near another piece of land which last week was occupied by groups of people who claim the land as their own, and protest the lack of affordable housing in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area.

One police officer was injured amid clashes against occupiers as security forces were attempting to carry out a forced eviction and four people, three women and one man, were arrested.
